I packed up my truck
an' everything I own
lsaid my goodbyes
and threw away my phone
I didn't know where l was goin'
so ljust drove
South of Miami,
down through the keys
The road finally ended

when I hit the sea
I sent a postcard home
sayin'
Don't y'all worry 'bout me
I'm just holdin' back the ocean,
makin' sure the breeze
keeps blowin'

I'm watchin' over the
stars at night
till the sun shines bright
in the mornin'
I ain't worried 'bout
a damn thing
Keep your gold watches

and your brass ring
I'm tired of goin' through
the motions
I'm just holdin' back the ocean
String bikinis and
long blonde hair
You can taste the salt

in the air
People Iaughin' and
actin' like
they don't have a prayer
It's 244 at my
new occupation
Don't even earn a dime

but I wouldn't trade it

I'm workin' overtime
on this.

a permanent vacation
Just holdin' back the ocean,
makin' sure the breeze
keeps blowin'

Watchin' over the
stars at night
till the sun shines bright
in the mornin'
I ain't worried 'bout
a damn thing
Keep your gold watches

and your brass ring
I'm tired of goin' through
the motions
I'm just holdin' back the ocean
It's up to you what you do

with your life
I'll be spendin' mine
Just holdin' back the ocean,
makin' sure the breeze
keeps blowin'

Watchin' over the
stars at night
till the sun shines bright
in the mornin'
I ain't worried 'bout
a damn thing
Keep your gold watches

and your brass ring
I'm tired of goin' through
the motions
I'm just holdin' back the ocean
I'm tired of goin' through

the motions
I'm just holdin' back
the ocean
